Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2006-04-24 07:17:11 UTC
Problem described in this link:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-366499-highlight-.html

is provoked by gnome-system-tools 1.4.1

After create a user using users-admin (provided by gnome-system-tools) the following line is always added in /etc/login.devfs: PASS_MIN_LEN 5 

Thanks a lot for try to fix it :)

Comment 1 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-12 07:57:47 UTC
can you still reproduce this?

I cannot reproduce this with:

system-tools-backends-1.4.2 ( this is the pack that writes information to login.defs )
gnome-system-tools-1.4.1

Furthermore, the code looks like it only replaces values that already exist in the login.defs file.

If you can still reproduce the problem please let us know the following:
What version of system-tools-backends, gnome-system-tools, and shadow are you using?
Comment 2 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2006-05-13 00:48:57 UTC
The problem persits :(

I am using the following:
shadow-4.0.14-r1
system-tools-backends-1.4.2
gnome-system-tools-1.4.1

I have re-emerged them but the PASS_MIN_LEN line is still been added :(

Thanks a lot for your help
Comment 3 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-13 05:12:11 UTC
if you completely remove the PASS_MIN_LEN from the file ( even if its commented out) does it still happen?

Also, do you pam in your use flags?

Thanks.

Yes, I have removed this line and it still hapen.
I have "pam" in my USE flags

Thanks a lot for your help :)

I have also just encountered this bug. I added a new group using users-admin, and assigned membership of the new group to root and my user. It doesn't seem to affect usability, but it's still annoying.

They say that:
"Please try a more recent version of g-s-t, the 2.14.x releases are obsolete, as
the development focus is on the 2.17/2.18 releases."

"using latest 2.15.x or
latest 2.17.x (which will soon be 2.18) should be ok"

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=401320

Then, I think that we should "vote" for this bug:

differences in login.defs after running GST

I'm sorry but I cannot reproduce. Attached is a diff of the changes made by gst to login.defs on my stable box. As you can see it does _not_ touch the PASS_MIN_LEN variable which is still commented.

Any chance you could try and figure out why we have different mods done by GST?

As a side note, there's no need to insist on having a bug fixed (even if you attach the patch, which is very kind). You'll only get us annoyed and we'll likely just ignore the bug :)

Thanks for your time and patches.

Yes, the problem is the following, when I launch "users-admin" and I add a new user and click on "OK", the line "PASS_MIN_LEN 5" is added at the end of /etc/login.devfs file.

Thanks
Comment 25 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2007-02-21 19:45:29 UTC
And sorry for insist on having this bug fixed, this will never occur again :-(

Sorry
Comment 26 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-21 21:35:20 UTC
I did add a new user in there, otherwise user-admin leaves the file alone. I tried again, same results. I have _no_ idea why it's behaving differently.

It could very well be a side effect of something else. It would help if you could under what conditions PASS_MIN_LEN is modified/added by gst.

Thanks
Comment 27 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2007-02-21 21:59:35 UTC
